The Prepping Thread - A Newer Beginning ;)

Thriftygifty

I'm glad inlaws told DH this info at our gate from a distance than inside our house with the children on them at a later date, I'm not sure what I would have done/said to them, at least this way we can handle it slightly more diplomatic should we see them anytime again soon.

I need to prep foods for the baby who has a milk allergy and I think now a soya allergy I never knew soya was in so many foods.

Well done Thriftygifty, I'm glad for your sake your OH is on the same page.  What a good idea it was to meet them at the gate and find out in person before they came in to the house, the lack of safety every which way would have been horrible.

Oh goodness, Thrifygifty, dairy allergy AND soy allergy? Nightmare... my great-nephew (whose mother was allergic to cow's milk, which was quite bad enough) has multiple food allergies and their lives are very constrained because of it. Half-day hospital sessions 70 miles from home every three months (regional centre) and never being able to eat away from home without it turning into a full-blown inquisition; one slip-up could be very dangerous. Luckily he's a sensible little soul & accepts the limitations, but not every 7 year old would.

Re conspiracy theorists - with some folk it doesn't matter how much solid, scientific evidence you put in front of them, they will still keep going with that stupid script that's running inside their heads.

Quite.  You're piddling against the wind with these people.  Whatever arguments you put forward to illustrate the error of their ways will just be further proof to them of how folk like you have been brainwashed ...

My sister was the same - poor little thing looked like she'd been washed with a sandblaster! She did grow out of it but the lactose intolerance came back (it's hereditary - both me and my mother suffered from it).

If it's just cows milk rather than all animal milk, is it worth trying goats milk?

Thanks everyone. We had the worst possible news today about my Dad's health, we are all in shock and trying to process the news.  I think it's safe to say I admit defeat with everything at the moment.

Thriftygifty, I'm very sorry to hear you've had such bad news about your dad.  Just let yourself be shocked, and be kind to yourself - it's not defeat, it really isn't, your dad's health isn't something you can control.  Thinking of you and your family.
